Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to the production of comestible spreads and more particularly relates to edible spreads useful as margarine substitutes having reduced caloric content.
- Margarine In recent years considerable attention has been directed to the provision of comestible spreads resembling margarine but having reduced fat and caloric content.
- a "margarine" product must contain at least 80% fat by weight.
- Margarines comprise a water phase and an oil phase which are emulsified. Margarines generally are in the form of a water-in-oil emulsion.
- the taste of margarines and low fat edible spreads is due mostly to water soluble flavors, oil soluble flavors, and salt included in the water phase. The release of the water soluble flavors and salt from the encapsulating oil phase provides to the consumer a burst of flavor customarily associated with these products.
- the amount of flavor burst the consumer perceives is primarily a function of the droplet size of the encapsulated water phase.
- a very tight water-in-oil emulsion with a relatively small water phase droplet size yields a small flavor burst while a more loose emulsion with a larger encapsulated water droplet size generally provides a larger flavor burst.
- "functional" ingredients are often added to control droplet size.
- proteins from dairy sources such as whey powder or non-fat dry milk solids, are commonly used to destabilize the emulsion and to counteract the effect of added emulsifying agents to thus increase the droplet size of the water phase and increase the flavor burst.
- This invention provides a process for producing an edible margarine-like spread composition comprising a water-in-oil emulsion having a fat content of less than about 80% by weight and having the approximate consistency of margarine at room temperature which comprises: (a) forming an edible liquid dispersion including a water phase, and a fat phase comprising a blend of a melted solid or hard fat and a liquid fat, (b) cooling the said liquid dispersion to a temperature sufficient to effect substantial solidification of the hard fat, (c) then subjecting the cooled dispersion to a shearing force sufficient to produce a water-in-oil emulsion, and (d) discharging the water-in-oil emulsion from the action of the shearing force so as to provide an edible water-in-oil emulsion having the approximate consistency of margarine at room temperature.
- the fat components of the dispersion employed to form a spread in accordance with the invention is a blend of a solid or hard fat which has a Wiley Melting Point in the range of about 90° to 120° F., and a liquid fat which has a Wiley Melting Point less than about 32° F.
- the percentage of hard fat to liquid fat in the blend can be varied widely.
- the Solid Fat Index (SFI) is the ratio of hard fat to liquid fat and is a well accepted method used to classify fat mixtures and is Method CD-10-57 of the American Oil Chemists Society.
- a preferred fat blend typically comprises between about 10 and about 45 weight percent of a hard fat based upon the total weight of fat, the hard fat having an Iodine Value (IV) of about 55 to about 85 and a Wiley Melting Point in the range of 90° to 120° F.; and between about 55 to about 90 weight percent of a liquid fat based upon the total weight of fat, the liquid fat having an Iodine Value of between about 115 to 150 and a Wiley Melting Point less than 32° F.
- IV Iodine Value
- the fats for the spreads produced by this invention may be formulated from a variety of edible fatty triglycerides such as soybean oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, olive oil, palm oil, corn oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower seed oil, sesame oil, safflower oil, sardine oil, lard and tallow, or mixtures thereof.
- Vegetable oils are preferred over animal oils and oils that quickly solidify are generally preferred over other oils.
- Soybean oil, either solid or liquid, are particularly preferred fats to provide the heart fat and liquid fat.
- a dispersion comprising a water phase and a suitable fat blend is formed at a temperature at which the SFI of the fat blend is zero, that is, the fats are completely in liquid state.
- the water and fat blend dispersion is formed at a temperature of not more than 30° F. above the temperature at which the SFI is zero.
- the water phase is employed in amounts of from about 25% to 85% by weight of the product and the fat phase comprises 15% to 75% by weight of the product.
- Typical optional ingredients which can be incorporated in the water phase are:
- Flavor--water soluble 0.0.1 to 0.03 wt %
- the fat or oil phase of the formulation can include known oil-soluble flavors in minor amounts such as from 0.1% to 0.2% by weight of the formulation and coloring agents such as beta carotene in an amount of about 0.005% by weight.
- An emulsifying agent of known type such as monoglycerides and lecithin, is employed in the formulation generally in an amount of about 0.25% to 1.0% by weight of the formulation.
- the emulsifying agent is preferably added to the water and oil mixture but can also be added in slightly higher concentrations to the oil phase.
- the dispersion of water and fat blends can be formed by adding them to a blending tank in batchwise manner, or the water and fat blends can, in a continuous process, be separately metered into a blending tank.
- the water-fat blend dispersion is then cooled from the initial mixing temperature (usually 120° to 150° F.) to a temperature below the temperature at which the hard fat solidifies; preferably the dispersion is cooled to a temperature in the range of 35° to 45° F.
- Preferred cooling rates are in the range of 1° F. per second to 8° F. per second.
- a tubular heat exchanger of known type be utilized which produces sufficient flow turbulence to insure that the solidifying fat will not plate out on the surface of the heat exchanger so as to alter the composition of the final product.
- the cooled dispersion is preferably maintained at the selected temperature for a period to insure that the hard fat (i.e., the high melting fat) is solidified.
- holding can be effected from 0 to 5 minutes, but preferably is effected by maintaining the dispersion for a period of 0.5 to 2 minutes in a holding tube connected to the tubular heat exchanger. Average flow velocities through the holding tube commonly range from about 2 feet per second to about 6 feet per second.
- the dispersion After cooling and any holding, and when the hard fat is substantially solidified, the dispersion is subjected to mechanical shearing whereby the dispersion is emulsified to a water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion.
- the emulsified product after being subjected to mechanical shearing is preferably held for a tempering period of say 4 to 24 hours in the temperature range of 70° F. to 80° F., is a stable emulsified plastic solid having the consistency of tub margarine at room temperature.
- Various known high shear devices for imparting mechanical shear to liquids can be used to form the water-in-oil emulsion, such as, for example, dispersers, shear pumps, emulsifiers, colloid mills, high speed wet mills, jets, high intensity mixers and the like.
- the shearing device should possess a large mixing volume as compared to the droplet size of the dispersion fed to the shearing device to insure a consistent water-to-oil ratio in the final product and homogenous fluid-fluid interactions between the two phases.
- the water-to-oil ratio will be determined by the proportion of water phase and oil phase fed into the process.
- the mechanical shearing of the dispersion should be conducted for a time and at a rate to reduce the largest consistent dispersed water phase droplet size below 500 microns (0.5 mm) as determined from an optical microscope to ensure that interfacial phenomena hinders the coalescence of the emulsified water droplets under static conditions.
- the droplet size will be less than 400 microns and greater than 100 microns.
- the dispersion fed to the shearing device has a viscosity of between about 5 to about 25 centipoises and the emulsified product has a yielding viscosity of 10,000 to 10,000,000 centipoises where the yielding viscosity is defined as the viscosity at the yielding point of the plastic solid material.
- the yielding stress should be between about 20 Pa and about 950 Pa and preferably between about 60 Pa and about 700 Pa.
- the temperature of the materials undergoing shear increases due to frictional/viscous interactions.
- the temperature rise of the fluids during shearing correlates with the yielding viscosity and yielding stress, and hence with the droplet size of the dispersed water in the emulsified product providing the temperature does not rise above the melting point of a significant fraction of the hard fat.
- the mechanical shearing is conducted so as to limit the temperature rise in the fluid mixture undergoing shear to less than 50° F.
- the temperature rise is maintained in the range of from 5° to 20° F.
- a formulation was prepared composed of about 60 weight percent water phase and about 40 weight percent oil phase and contained the following ingredients:
- the solid soybean oil had a Wiley Melting Point in the range of 102°-108° F., an Iodine Value in the range of 65-73 and a solid fat index (SFI) as follows:
- a dispersion of the above ingredients was prepared by adding the water phase ingredients to a tank followed by the addition of all oil phase ingredients after which the emulsifying agent was added.
- the mixture in the blend tank was equilibrated to 120° F.
- the oil and water dispersion was pumped from the blend tank through tubular heat exchangers in which the dispersion was cooled to 40° F. at a cooling rate of 5° F. per second.
- the dispersion was passed through a holding tube or cooling section of the exchanger for 30 seconds following which it was introduced into a mechanical shearing device.
- the mechanical shearing device consisted of two sets of closely spaced intermeshing pins, with 1/8" clearance, mounted perpendicularly on the face of two circular disks with one rotating with respect to the other where the dispersion enters at the center of the stationary disk and exits at the periphery of the disks.
- Samples of the cooled dispersion were emulsified in the shearing device at four maximum shear rates of 4500 s -1 to 11000 s -1 where the maximum shear rate is defined as relative linear velocity of the outer most set of pins divided by the distance between the pins, 1/8".
- Each of the four samples collected had a residence time in the shearing device of approximately 2 seconds at a flow rate of 2200 lb/hr and the temperature rise in the samples ranged from 2° to 15° F.
- the sheared emulsified products were packaged in 1 pound tubs, tempered at 75° F. for 12 hours, and finally cooled to refrigeration temperatures. Observations are shown below:
- the yielding stress and yielding viscosity were measured using a Haake concentric cylinder viscometer with a programmed shear rate acceleration to determine the yield point.
- the above results show the relationship between the shearing rate and the droplet size of the dispersed water phase.
- the yielding stress and yielding viscosity of the samples increased, as did the temperature rise in the samples undergoing shear.
- the lower shear rate resulted in a smaller rise in temperature, thus indicating a larger droplet size for the dispersed water phase of the water-in-oil emulsion.
- shearing rates less than 4500 s -1 the emulsion separated into its respective phases immediately.
- sample 1 taken at 4500 s -1 yielded the largest consistent droplet size at approximately 350 microns (0.35 mm).
- the power input measurements indicated show the total energy input by the shearing device for the production of 2,200 lb/hr. Based on prior art operating data, the power requirement for a prior at process at the same production rate would be approximately 20 kW. Hence, the process of this invention provides a substantial reduction in energy usage.
- a formulation was prepared composed of 40 weight percent water phase and 60 weight percent oil phase and containing the following ingredients:
- the solid soybean oil was the same as described in Example 1.
- a dispersion of the ingredients was prepared as in Example 1 and equilibrated to 120° F. and then cooled to 45° F. at a cooling rate of 5° F. per second.
- the dispersion was held in a holding tube or cooling section of the heat exchanger for 30 seconds before being introduced into the mechanical shear device described in Example 1.
- Samples of the cooled dispersion were emulsified in the mechanical shear device at five maximum shear rates from 2100 s -1 to 11,000 s -1 .
- the five samples had a residence time in the shearing device of approximately 2 seconds at 2200 lb/hr and the temperature rise in the samples range from 1° to 17° F.
- the sheared emulsified samples were handled as in Example 1. Observations are shown below:
- Example 1 Comparison of the rheological measurements in Example 1 and Example 2 shows that as the percentage of water in the formulation decreased the yielding stress and yielding viscosity of the products decreased. With less water in the formulation, softer water-in-oil emulsion is obtained even with an increase in the concentration of the hard soybean oil.
- a formulation was prepared composed of 80 weight percent water phase and 20 weight percent oil phase and contained the following ingredients:
- the solid soybean oil was the same as specified in Example 1.
- a dispersion of the ingredients was prepared as in Examples 1 and 2 and equilibrated to 30° F. and then cooled to 40° F. at a cooling rate of 6° F. per second.
- the dispersion was held in a holding tube or cooling section of the heat exchanger for 30 seconds before being introduced to the mechanical shear device described in Example 1.
- Samples of the cooled dispersion were emulsified in the mechanical shear in a range of maximum shear rates from 5,550 s -1 to 11,000 s -1 .
- the samples had a residence time in the shearing device of approximately 2 seconds at 2200 lb/hr and the temperature rise in the samples range from 2° to 14° F.
- the sheared emulsified samples were handled as in Example 1. Observations are shown below:
- the process of the invention provides a process for making a comestible spread which can be practiced with low capital requirements and substantially reduced power requirements, while providing competitive products to those commercially available.
